I went to the vet. My cat had had kittens and we found homes for all of them within a day. Good homes. I asked my vet if there was birthcontrol for her so she could have a litter next year.
He insisted on spaying her.
Show cats and pedigreed cats go into season constantly???
Your vet was right. It's nice that your kittens all found homes, but most don't. And the homes yours found could have gone to cats that were instead euthanized at animal shleters for lack of homes. Go talk to someone at a shelter who has to personally euthanize many healthy loving cats and dogs every day -- then you'll feel differently about letting pet cats reproduce. I don't have one iota of sympathy for breeders of "pedigreed" cats. They're a big part of the problem and shouldn't get any special treatment when it comes to animal population control measures.
I honestly cannot understand how anyone can live with an intact female cat. I'm not dissing cats, but they are just obnoxious when they are in heat!
